Location

The geohash on the 29th of September 2008 for the Southern Graticule of Adelaide was located very close to the point of confluence. The actual point was in a paddock, there would be more details, but it was really dark

Nathan's Narrative

I was accompanied by BobTheFish which helped greatly with obtaining photographic proof that we were there [if you remember my last Geo# i had a problem photoing my own phone GPS with itself].

What do you do in the evening, when you don't know what to do? Read a book? Play a game? ...Get out and get under the moon!

Yes, that insatiable bug bit yet again, and I was off to a hash. Google thought it was in a paddock, but spurred on by arvid's example in the irc and the knowledge that any farmer in the area would be well and truly tucked up in bed, I jumped in the car. The tunes for the trip up to the site were from Da Vinci's Notebook's 'Brontosaurus', and it was with great relief that I was not driving a little truck that I passed through Littlehampton (famous for its bricks), Nairne (famous for its ham) and Dawesley (not everywhere can be famous) and arrived (eventually, I might add) 100m or so from the hash.

Luckily it was not so dark (it was around 11:30 on a Adelaide night) that I didn't notice the electric fence, and after finding a suitable crossing point, I was off. On arriving at the hash, I could see absolutely nothing, but it was quite obvious to me that the site was: 1. Reachable, and 2. Cold.
